Health Leadership Series 2015

Following the launch of the Rockefeller Foundation-Lancet Commission Report on Planetary Health in July 2015; UNU-IIGH Director, Professor Anthony Capon has been invited to deliver a public lecture related to the subject at the Health Leadership Series 2015 at the School of Medicine, The University of Notre Dame Australia.

The report that advocates ‘Safeguarding human health in the Anthropocene epoch’ argues for a new discipline called ‘planetary health’ founded on eco-social understandings of health. While human health is better now than at any time in history, these gains have come at a high price: the degradation of nature’s ecological systems on a scale never seen in human history.
